more information, please
see your Owner’s Guide.
12. AUXILIARY POWER

behind the vehicle that
you may be unable to

sound a warning
tone that increases in
frequency as the object
gets closer and will
sound continuously
when the object is less
than 10 inches away.
Refer to your Owner’s
Guide for safety
information and
more details.
15. AUXILIARY
INPUT JACK
